I personally haven't used stp yet but I have used gumout regain which if pretty much the same thing. anyways, from my research, the reason why furl system cleaners can be bad is that sometimes it'll unclog the buildup but the clog just moved downstream and clogs another part of the system. which has caused some serious damage to some cars. These products do what they are advertised to do, most of the time. But I will say, from the one bottle of regain I used, I couldn't seem to feel THAT much of a difference, im sure it did something though

A little more expensive but it does help. I saw that my mechanic buddy had this in his shop, so if he uses it then it's good enough for me. He said to only use it every so often, like once or twice a year.
